The Galaxy S3 beating the iPhone 4S for the first time, says new report

Anticipation for the iPhone 5 has reached a fever pitch

Apple's iPhone 4S has been the top-selling smartphone in the U.S. since its release almost a year ago, but with the iPhone 5 just around the corner, it's finally been dethroned.

And it's got to irk Apple just a little bit that the iPhone 4S has been usurped by none other than the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Samsung's recent loss to Apple in a California court, which could cost them upwards of $1 billion, is likely still stinging, so the Korean company must be thankful for the brief reprieve in its misfortune.
